Townley Weekly Communication 15-01-24

Dear Parents, Carers and Students, 

Parental Engagement with Career's Fair
At Townley, we are passionate about young people exploring their future career pathways by offering opportunities to interact and engage with a variety of employers. As part of our Careers programme, we have opportunities for students to find out more about the world of work by inviting people in talk to about their career journey, current role and/or the industry they work in, including further study.

Our next event is our Careers and Futures Fair on Tuesday 30 January 2024, an all-day event visited by year groups 7-13. If you are available and interested in providing career insight and would like to have a stand at this event, please complete the Careers and Futures Fair 2024 form by Friday 19th January 2024 with more details about your current role and industry. We will then be in touch with more information about the day.

Thank you in anticipation of your support which is greatly appreciated.
